Chapter 443: 443
Back in the city…
K1-Red Iron’s “Come! Try me!” initiated an intense battle. Quick Bell split the daggers into two and kicked underneath his kick to morph into a fast shadow and practically disappeared. When he moved, his opponent already reacted. Red Iron did not make any attack but leap lightly backwards to move more than 3 metres away.
“I will kill you! I will kill you! I will kill you!” Quick bell was like a noisy flea. As he attacked, he grumbled endlessly in that funny voice of his. Since he was moving so fast, Quick Bell had split into 8 shadows in the players’ eyes, jumping all over Red Iron to strike at him. Actually Quick Bell did not do this ‘illusion’ effect on purpose, he was merely throwing everything he had into the assault based on his tempo. This phenomenon appeared because whenever Quick Bell collided with Red Iron, there was that moment of contact and the ‘vibration’ in that moment would ‘stun’ out a halted illusion.
And Red Iron used slowness to counter speed. Using a speed that the players could follow, he put up an absolute shield. He used his fingers as blades and moved them around to counter. The wind cut sharply and the hands that were covered in red aura blocked every cut from Quick Bell with ease.
“Hah!” Red Iron laughed. “You lose strength in supersonic speed, don’t you know that…”
“How… is… this… possible…” The words came from all sides. And each word was said haltingly. Looks like when he was in supersonic speed, even his power of speech was slightly affected.
“What do you mean by impossible?” Red Iron said, “Like this?”
He planted his feet into the ground, turned his waist and pushed forward a punch on Quick Bell’s face. Or rather… it should be face Quick Bell rammed his own face into Red Iron’s fist.
“Ah!” Quick Bell screamed from the pain and tipped backwards. The recoil was as powerful as a cannon shot, he flew into the air. But for everyone else, this speed was slower than before…
“I knew… you never look at the data analysis…” Red Iron said, “After our previous fight, I’ve already understood your fighting style…”
Hong hong hong
Suddenly, several dark sharp arcs came from afar. It were the injured Anomalies who were rescued by Quick Bell, they had returned to the battlefield and they threw right into attacking Red Iron.
“Hah… these are so weak, I’m too lazy to avoid them…” When Red Iron said that, the attacks already fell on him. Indeed he did not move because with the aura around him, he easily neutralized the attacks.
“So you are Red Iron…” At that moment ROOT’s voice suddenly rang in Red Iron’s ears. “You seem to enjoy… fighting your own people…”
“Hmm…” Red Iron’s arrogant expression froze on his face because he realized… a chisel-like finger had pierced his chest from behind. K1-Red Iron’s eyes were burning. He did not even sense the person approach and he already suffered fatal damage… this not only injured his pride but it was a heavy shock to his psychological stability.
“Ah!” Red Iron bent his waist forward to peel himself off from ROOT’s metallic spire. At the same time, he pushed his left palm against the ground, and kicked behind him with both of his legs. He did not hurry to heal his injury and did not escape but used this temporary opening that ROOT gave when she thought she had succeeded to accomplish this counter.
BOOM
Red Iron’s legs struck ROOT like lighting. The latter’s body exploded like a balloon of water before they gathered in the air in the shape of a semi sphere. Then… she soon recovered into her human shape.
“What!” Red Iron gasped this quintessential death sentence which was common for all that was about to die. Normally when a person said that, they would be crush into a pulp the next second…
He would breathe that out because mainly he ‘saw’ ROOT’s reaction on the data level after she was attacked. Obviously Red Iron’s kick was very powerful, the damage caused by this kick was far higher than it might appear but… it was not even strong enough to break through ROOT’s defence, at least not strong enough to shed away her 8th form.
Then, at that moment, things changed.
Blades danced and shimmered like stars in the night. Another person joined the fray. Without a word, he sliced at all the half liquid metallic pieces floating in the air. The blades slithered like wind, pulsed like fire and weaved within the realm of reality and void. It caused the spectators to be confused.

Remark: according to Jiang Hu, there was once a legendary character called Qu Du Qiu Sheng, Solitary Person asking for Victory, who sworn to make a name for himself in the world. But he was born without any talent, he failed to enter any respectable school and only those lowest rate sensei would take him on. When he was 18, he struck out on his own on the path of Jiang Hu. Right out of the pride of youth, armed with the weakest of skill and a simple blade, he dared to challenge many big names. The result was he lost every single one of them. But his opponents never injured him too deeply, either out of sympathy or derision. Even so… 30 years later, Qu Du Qiu Sheng died from illness. His whole life was spent on the street teaching anyone who would be his disciple and walking the path of Jiang Hu. He racked up 0 win til his death and he hadn’t even mastered the simplest of internal Qi… But in terms of stylistics, he was the master of the skills of all the schools and created a set of sword style called ‘Nine Blades of Solitude’ that could counter all the skills in the world. Many years after his passing, Gu Du Qiu Sheng’s disciples faired much better than their master. Posthumously, Gu Du Qiu Sheng finally fulfilled his life long dream and became a legend among the world of Jiang Hu, being called a teaching saint for years to come.
